SCHENECTADY — Autopsy results are expected back Friday on the body of a man found Thursday morning in the back seat of a luxury car in the Vale neighborhood.

Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney described the discovery of the body in the Acura as an unattended death during a visit to the scene on Barney Street between Daggett Terrace and Close Street.

Carney said it was too early to speculate if the man died under suspicious circumstances.

"They are being careful about the forensics here and they are waiting for a search warrant," added Carney.

Lt. Mark McCracken, a city police spokesman, said police responded to the scene after receiving several calls of a dead body in the car. He said there were no obvious signs of trauma to the body but authorities were treating it as a crime scene.

A blue tarp was erected to block the car from public view on the Close Street but the back of the vehicle could be seen from the Daggett Terrace side.
